Eight ASHK teachers and their family and friends took part in a 60km walk around Hong Kong
Island from January to February. The Weez Walk aims to raise awareness of youth mental health and wellbeing, and support the KELY group. By joining Weez Walk 2024, teachers contributed towards raising awareness, providing resources, and supporting KELY Support Group programmes that offer hope to young people battling mental health issues, taking one step towards combatting alarming statistics, showing compassion and support for those in our community who need it the most.

As part of an extended initiative to raise awareness for youth mental health, the ASHK Elementary Student Council created a "red packet sale", allowing students to buy red packets with chocolate coins to give to their friends for Chinese New Year. They also sold raffle tickets at the Chinese New Year flower market. Altogether, ASHK raised just under 5,000 HKD!

Chinese New Year holds great significance to ASHK and our entire community. Chinese language, history, and culture is deeply embedded in our identity at ASHK. In February, ASHK celebrated Chinese New Year with a wide array of traditional activities. The event featured a captivating lion dance, student performances, Chinese art show and a flower market.

Students across all grades worked hard on their art pieces and put tremendous effort into rehearsing for the performances. The Chinese art show showcased incredible artwork, from watercolor paintings to 3D art pieces. The assembly showcased outstanding dancing, Wushu, singing, and drama performances. The games at the flower market created excitement and enjoyment for both parents and students. The dedication and hard work from the entire community coming together to enjoy the festivities was truly heartwarming.

At ASHK, both Elementary and Secondary students experience a "Week Without Walls" during every school year. Stepping out of the traditional classroom setting and immersing themselves in the natural world and the local community provides a great opportunity for students to broaden their world knowledge and discover more about themselves. Most recently, Grade 2 students went to Pak Tam Chung in Sai Kung, our Grade 3 went to Bride's Pool in Tai Mei Tuk and our Grade 4 and 5 went to Hoi Ha in Sai Kung. Students participated in hiking and outdoor activities, and explored old village houses, developing a deeper understanding of the environment and Hong Kong’s history. These experiences equip students with essential life skills and empower them to be responsible global citizens. They learn to navigate unfamiliar environments, work collaboratively with their peers, and develop resilience and adaptability in facing challenges.
